Tamsin Omond
Activist & Climate Campaigner
In 2007, at the beginning of the summer, Tamsin borrowed her friend’s edition of Heat (Monbiot). July was spent with climate science and frantically preparing Climate Camp campaigners. The end of the summer was Climate Camp – six days of sustainable living, workshops and skill-shares, two arrests and two acquittals. Since Tamsin’s speedy introduction into grass-roots organisations, she has helped coordinate carnival marches, protest camps, locks/stick-on’s, and banner-drops. Working with Plane Stupid she has brought protest to a variety of sites: airports, corporate offices, high-street travel agents, the roofs of the Houses of Parliament. All with the aim of involving more women in the environmental debate and to promote direct action as a legitimate and the most effective protest method.
